Abstract

The Air Quality Index is a good indication tool for the monitoring of air quality in smart cities and the assessment of the cleanliness or pollution level of air. Predictions of AQI values can facilitate people and authorities in taking precautionary steps like avoiding exposure to the outdoors on days when pollution levels are high. This study will look into the analysis of data and machine learning to forecast AQI by using previous pollution data, weather patterns, and environmental factors. A number of models have been trained and compared, which include a neural network to capture intricate non-linear correlations, XGBoost for efficient gradient boosting, Random Forest Regressor for robustness, and Linear Regression as the baseline. Results prove the potential of advanced models in real-time environmental monitoring and public health awareness, where models from an ensemble and deep learning yield better accuracy and reliability in predicting trends in air quality. Future iterations may consider regional or seasonal differences in air quality.
